Alright, let’s talk about something super important: if your boyfriend plays for Pittsburgh, who are you cheering for? Him or your hometown team? Tricky, right? That’s the kind of debate Olivia Dunne has fans all worked up over! Recently, the LSU gymnast and social media superstar showed up at a New Jersey Devils game against the New York Rangers, and let’s just say, her choice of team had people talking. Dunne, who’s home in the Garden State for the holidays, hit up the Prudential Center in Newark to watch some NHL action on Monday night, and fans definitely noticed.

Picture this: Olivia rocking a custom red-and-black Devils jersey with “Dunne” and the number 24 on the back, mixing right into the sea of Devils fans. The Devils, with their impressive 22-11-3 record, absolutely crushed the Rangers in a 5-0 blowout, and Olivia was there for every second of it. A Westwood, NJ native, she grew up training at ENA Gymnastics in Paramus, so it makes sense she’d cheer for her hometown team.

Oh, and her sister Julz joined her for the game, making it a full-on Dunne family outing. Olivia Dunne is currently dating Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes. The two met during their time as student-athletes at LSU, and it’s been a sports power couple situation ever since. But here’s where things get interesting and, for some fans, frustrating.

Olivia Dunne’s been cheering on Paul and his Pittsburgh team for baseball, but now that hockey season’s here, she’s switched things up and thrown her support behind the New Jersey Devils rather than the Pittsburgh team. And let’s just say Pittsburgh fans aren’t exactly thrilled about it. Now, here’s where the drama kicks in. As soon as fans spotted her supporting the Devils, the internet lost it. Some loved that she was repping her roots, while others looking, fans weren’t too thrilled. Social media exploded with debates, theories, and the occasional meltdown.

Olivia Dunne’s New Jersey Devils fandom sparks heated debate among fans

One fan dramatically declared, “Betrayal of Paul Skenes and Pittsburgh in its entirety,” while another chimed in, “I thought she’d be supporting the Penguins since Skenes plays for the Pirates, but she’s from New Jersey, so it makes sense.” Of course, not everyone agreed, with one fan throwing in, “She would look a lot better in Rangers gear.” The debates only heated up after the New Jersey Devils shut out the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-0 on the road just days earlier, on December 21st. While Olivia Dunne wasn’t in Pittsburgh for that game, her decision to cheer for New Jersey during Monday’s rivalry matchup had fans buzzing even more.

At Monday’s game at the Prudential Center fondly called “The Rock“—Livvy got to see a show. Jack Hughes lit up the scoreboard with two goals, securing his 15th of the season, while tensions flared on the ice with multiple fights breaking out between the Devils and Rangers. For Livvy, though, it seemed like pure excitement to cheer on her hometown team. She’s made her loyalties pretty clear, even following the New Jersey Devils’ official account and star player Luke Hughes on social media. While Skenes towers over her at 6’6”, it’s safe to say Livvy stands tall when it comes to repping her home state whether Pittsburgh fans like it or not.

Another fan chimed in, “Didn’t know she was a devils fan,” while someone else joked, “Bad day to be a Rangers fan.” One fan even quipped, “She could play on the Rangers,” while another lamented, “We could’ve had it all, but you chose the Devils over the Rangers.” Of course, not everyone was upset, with one fan declaring, “I’m a Devils fan now.”

As it is, this is not the first time this glamorous girl is on the side of New Jersey’s hockey team. This was Olivia’s second visit to a Devils game. The first one was when she watched them against Detroit Red Wings where the New Jersey triumphed with 3-2 held at Prudential Center. Later, during that visit, she posted a funny TikTok video where she was at the game and looked a little lost on what was happening on the ice. The video, captioned “What the puck is going on?” with the overlay text reading, “Just a baseball girlie trying to understand hockey.”
